an overall great time had at this hotel even though weather was miserable. Waiters marvellous but reception was a bit of a nightmare with long waits for keys as reception was frequently unmanned and 1 particular chap quite surly, definately not a man with front of house skills! Rooms clean, food good and ideally located for disabled travellers as its... More

Just arrived home in Cheshire after a wonderful week end at the Ocean View, Shanklin. My sister and I, with a friend travelled, with Just Go Holidays and had a lovely time. We were lucky to have a re-furbished sea view room and could not fault the cleanliness. However our friend had a 2nd floor room that was very tired... More

Lovely Hotel with beautiful views. Large bedroom, kept very clean even if the decor perhaps needs a bit of attention. I was amazed at the variety of food available, beautifully presented & how lovely to be served rather than queuing up!! Staff very attentive & helpful. Entertainment every night & of very good standard. Very enjoyable. I would most certainly... More

The Ocean View is owned by Robinsons coach holidays, and the majority of guests are elderly - the food portions reflect this and, as all meals were waiter service, you get what you're given. Not a problem, but something to be aware of, as we're all used to self-service or large portions these days. We found the staff helpful and... More

Just returned from a 3 day break at this, truly, great hotel. It is situated on top of the cliff at Shanklin with sea views from the south facing rooms and well worth paying the premium for a sea view room which all have balconies to add to the enjoyment. My room was well furnished and very clean and the... More

just returned from a weekend break at Ocean view, the hotel's outward appearance is very tired, reception area very nice & clean with helpful & pleasant staff. Our seaview bedroom was clean but in need of updating. more attention needs to be paid to the bathroom - shower screen & around the bath taps were very grubby. Dining in restaurant... More
